‏ Jeremiah 51:46

Israel Must Come Forth From Babylon

In view of the judgment on Babylon, the LORD calls His people to leave Babylon (Jer 51:45; cf. Jer 51:6). His fierce anger has been kindled against Babylon. If they do not heed the call to leave Babylon, they will be frightened by the news that will reach them about what is happening in the land (Jer 51:46). There will be civil wars that will destroy unity and take away strength.

Days are coming when the LORD will punish the idols of Babylon (Jer 51:47). Then those idols will prove to be no protection at all. For that, they need only look at the fallen in their midst. When the destroyers come from the north and destroy Babylon, it will cause great joy in all creation (Jer 51:48).
